Coming off the heels of Scott Van Pelt having an embarrassing and somewhat inappropriate interview with Howard Stern prankster Captain Janks, MSNBC has now followed suit with an interview with who they believed was USA Goalie and budding star, Ryan Miller.
There were a couple tells such as the callers voice and him mislabeling the opponent from today's game as "Russia", yet the prank caller was smooth enough to get through the call without blowing his cover. It was only later that MSNBC brought on the real Ryan Miller and apologized for the improper vetting of the previous caller. Below is video footage of the incident.
The incident may only add to Miller's new-found star power. Previous to the Olympics Miller was a well respected goalie, but buried in Buffalo of wasteland for mainstream notoriety. Miller's prolific net-minding for the Red, White, and Blue has extended his reach to a larger base of fans outside of hockey. He now sits a win away from potentially entering the very small club of elite hockey players that star power cross over. He'll have to earn it though as he'll have to defeat a loaded Canada team for the second time in a week, a task worthy of all the spoils that could come with a possible win.
